Disband Federal Task Force, Ambode Urges Buhari

Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to disband the Presidential Taskforce Implementation Committee on the alienation of Federal Government Landed Properties.

The governor, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Habib Aruna, said members of the task force were carrying out duties inimical to the interest of the Federal and the state governments.

He added that the call was informed by “several petitions lamenting the nefarious and reprehensible activities of members of the task force”.

The governor asserted that the task force, whose existence and legality was allegedly still in doubt has unlawfully, “embarked on a brazen seizure, take over and appropriation of state and Federal Government properties”.

The team’s activities, according to Ambode, had led to “a near total destruction, displacement, stoppage, including unprovoked mass harassment, intimidation, molestation and denial of the original owners of their land and properties”.
